Marrying for Money.

Girls don't marry a man for
money, position, or anything but
love. Don't do it if you want to
live to good old age and be hap
by. You may think that money
can bring you all you desire, but
it can't. That is where you are
mistaken. 1t can buy good
many things, but it can never buy
contentment for your soul. 1t
may bring temporary smiles to
your face, but it will leave great
shadows in your heart. Don't
think that 1 would advise you to
marry a worthless fellow, just be-
cause you imagine you love him.
A refined, good intelligent wo-
man should never marry a vulgar,
ill-bred man. No, no, never unite
yourself to anyone who is not
man in the truest meaning of
the word. Neither could l advise
woman to marry q man who had
no visable means of supporting
her, but for heavens sake don't
marry millionaire or king if you
don't love him. 1t will not do.
People have tried it time and
again, only to find it miserable
failure. 1t may do for a while.
You may revel in gilded halls and
be lost in the giddy rounds of
pleasure, but a time will come
when these things will be hol-
low mockery to you. There will
be an aching void the world can
never fill. Sometimes mothers
are to blame for the unhappiness
of their daughters. They teach
them that respect for their hus-
band and lots of doodle are in
fnitely to be preferred to that
foolishness called love. That
would do very well if life had nc
waves of trouble, but it take:
something more that simple res

Six successful train robberies in
Texas within less than a year is a
startling record, and made still
more so by the fact that not
single one OF the offenders has
been brought to punishment or so
absolutely identified that there is
a reasonable hope that the law
will be vindleated. Texas is a big
state and affords fine opportunity
for these descents on trains, but
there is a lack of vigor in the gov
eminent which gives these male
factors a kind of carte blanche to
perpetuate their misdeeds without
fear of detection and punishment
We do not censure the officers,
from Coy ernor down to constable,
but rather that niggardly spirit

stimulate vigilance on their part,
or rather to enable them to put
plans in action to make the law su-
preme over lawlessness. We have
lately had the singular spectacle of
the Governor of our great state ap-
plying to the railroads to furnish
men and arms to spend their mon
ey to suppress train robbery and
to protect traffic and travel within
the state. tits a disgrace to Texas
that citizens who pay taxes and
render obedience to the state
should be called upon to perform
the duties of government and pro-
tect themselves and their patrons

robbers and cut-throats Waco

officer will Do your duty, and if
others who are charged with duties
neglect theirs it is no fault of
yours, nor does it in any manner
reflect on or relieve you. Hold
up your own hands and do not wait
for others to do it for you. You

Judge Cooks Letter.

To the sheriffs and constabulary
of Galveston and Harris counties:
l am informed that the laws of the
state with reference to pursuing
occupation taxed by law and what
is known as the Sunday law are
being habitually violated in these
counties. The violation of these
laws is as criminal as the violation
of any other upon the statute book.
1t is your duty to arrest all per-
sons who may be concerned, prin-
cipals, agents and employees in
these violations, and this you may
and should do upon the instant,
even without warrant, when COM
mitted in your presence. After ar
rest you should carry them before
the nearest magistrate, etc, as d.
rected by statute. You know your
duty in this regard and are emit
tied to the instructions of the dis
trict attorney. IT is further your
duty where you believe an offence
is being, or about to be, commit
ted, to present yourself and arrest
the parties or present them before
the proper authorities. 1t is none
of your business what judgement
may be rendered by the court, ex-
cept to enforce it as you may be
required by law to do. As often
as an offence is committed by the
same party the same duty devol-
yes on you to arrest him or them
and to take all lawful steps to pre-
vent a repetition of the offence.
Where parties are arrested you
should place them in jail until re-
heved by due course of law, and
you have no right to make any ex-
ception in this. In taking bonds,
where the law provides for you to
do so, you are responsible that they
be well and sufficiently secured.
1t is your duty to arrest all parties
concerned in any manner, making
them principals, accomplices or ac-
and to take them to Jail
or before an officer. And you
have no right to take any other
bail that such as is prescribed by
law. If you know of any officer
who is guilty of any neglect of
duty in this regard, it is your duty
to report it to the proper author
ity. 1 desire to say to you all that
| am fully determined the scandal

ANOTHER RAILROAD ASSURED.
The Eastern Wyoming to Build Forty
Miles of Road This Year.

About three weeks & the Eastern
Wyoming railroad filed its articles of in.
corporation at the Office of the secretary of
the territory. To show that the concern
is in earnest they have now deposited
maps of their proposed route for the first
forty miles in the land Office here, copies
OF which drawings will be forwarded to the
secretary of the interior for his approval
and as soon as the proceedings usual in
such cases have been complied with
work on the road will commence.
The Eastern Wyoming road is an
extension of what is known as the
Broken Bow, Neb.. branch of the Bur
lington & Missouri. 1t is intended to tap
the rich agricultural country in the vicin-
itv of Fort Laramie. G.. M. Holdrege is
president and j. G. Taylor secretary of
the company. Mr.. Holdrege is recog-
nized as n of the most enterprising and
wealthy railroad nsRnates in the East,
and any road in which he is interested is
bound to succeed, as he is not accustomed
to building railroads ON paper.

1t has been suggested that two new fea-
lures be added'to the ring department of
the territorial fair. The first is that an
annual cowboy tournament be instituted,
and that suitable prizes be offered for the
most expert Wyoming riders, ropers and
fancy riders. The best riders the world
has ever seen hailed from Wyoming.
among them being the celebrated Jim
Kid" DANES Willoughby), at present
the star of Buffalo Bills wild West
show in London, and Bronco Sam, who
committed suicide some years since.
These cowboy contests take place every
year at the county fairs in Southern Cal.

events. 1t is also said that trotting as
well as running horses are raised in Wyo.
ming, and that several native bred ami
mails can go the mile without a skip in less
than three minutes. If such is the case
an appropriate trophy to be awarded to
the winner of a free for all trot for native
flyers would induce entries from all parts
Of the territory and have the effect of in,
teresting territorial horsemen in ~trotting
stock and eventually cause the production
of some very fine animals.

large portion of their time in singing and
other noisy demonstrations, but through
the entire day the neighborhood of the
cells was quiet as death. Mccoy, the
slayer of Charles Gum. and the prison
ers confined for minor o~ffenses seemed to
be more affected by the result of Trum
ble's trial than the doomed man himself.
Mccoy and Trumble were observed by the
sheriff to be engaged in earnest converse
ton several times during the day, and
when overheard were always talking about
their respective crimes and other occur
rences at Lusk. At one time Trumble
locked solemnly at Mccoy and said loud
enough for those about to hear: 'Bill,

they think l will whine or weaken like a

his extremely nervous actions hat he is

Wants His Money.

A Spaniard who is known as Mexican
Frank, and who speaks very little Eng
lish, was yesterday end~eavoring to explain
to nearly everyone whom he met that a
boarding house man of this city had swim
died him out of $40. 1t appears that
Frank handed the hotel man a $50 check
in payment of a $40 board bill, but re
ceived no change, his creditor claiming
that the remainder of the check should be
applied to the accounts of two other
Spaniards who had contracted bills at his
establishment. Frank quite naturally OBJ
iected, explaining that he was not respon-
Sible for the debts of his c%ountrymen, and
when last seen was hunting for an attorney
who could ''savey Espanula."

The county commissioners held their
regular monthly meeting at the county
clerks Office yesterday. There were
present Messrs. Kelly and Swan. After
the usual routine business in the way Of
ordering the issuance OF warrants for
jury fees, etc., had been disposed of, the
matter of county roads came up for the
consideration of the board. The course
of the proposed new route from the head
of Ferguson street TO Fort Laramie is OBJ
iected to by the Union Pacific on the
ground that it will seriously dam
age a tract of land owned
by them just northwest of town.
A petition setting forth this fact was
presented by Coriett, Lacey & Riner, at
torneys Tor the company, and also request
ing that appraisers might be appointed to
ascertain the %pecuniary value OF the right
of way owe said land. z. Dater, j. w.
Hammond and II. G. Hay we're selected
as appraisers and instructed to report at
the next regular meeting of the commits
sioners. This action on the part of the
company will not cause the proposed road
to be abandoned, although there may be
considerable delay before the matter is
settled. Action was deferred on the es-
adjustment of a new road from Horse
creek to Fort Laramie.
